Man, I remember the days of running anti-virus software, what a task that was. That and reformatting drives, desegmentations, trying to remove old apps that just won't let go. What a mess that OS is, a jungle of unknown files, strange extensions, misbehaving applications, pure anarchy.
I would say that the iWork apps are much much better than anything on the Windows side, so Mac has them beat on the "word processing" front as well. "Pages" is just plain awesome.
